Rainier Amara

Rainier Amara is a confirmed IT professional with more than 15 years specialist experience in the field of Internet security and remote access. From a young age Rainier was already renowned for his inquisitive nature and attraction to all things electronic, and by the age of 8 he had already embarked on journey that would feed his passion for IT.

It was in his early teens that he received his first personal computer, but his professional career took off at the age of 18, when he served in the French National Army as a communications engineer. From there Rainier has travelled the world in various roles and has not looked back since.

Rainier now works in the Microsoft EDGE security team as a support escalation engineer, where he is responsible for providing customers and partners with the highest levels of expertise and advisory services on Forefront UAG and DirectAccess.

Outside of work Rainier spends as much time as he can with his wife and three children doing lots of crazy and wonderful things, and when not being a dad he enjoys downhill mountain biking in the French alps.
